J. MADISON WELLRS.

Mr.. ]. Madison Welles, OF Louisiana is
mad because he thinks he did not get al
that wal promised him, and now threatens
to expose the secrets OF the returning board
which gave the electoral vote of that STATE
to Rutherford B. Hayes. In speaking O
the matter the Chicago Herald truthfully
says it makes little difference whether
Welles confesses or not. .'Such minds are
capable OF digesting a fact and Of
forming q rational opinion were satisfied
years ago that he and his associates in the
returning board were a set of scoundrels
without honor. and without decencv. They
offered the electoral vote of the State in
open market, and they sold it to the high.
est bidder. Every one OF them received his
pay in Office, and not one OF them wal dis.
turbed in the enjoyment OF the spoils until
the administration of Grover Cleveland
came in.
Nothing that Madison Welles or that any
other ballot box burglar in Louisiana can
o say on the subject OF the crime of 1876
will have any weight with the public. Con-
corning the guilt Of these men no doubt is
entertained, but it does not rest upon anv
evidence Of their own presentation. Like
most villains, they have quarreled overthe
spoils, and frequent scandals have arisen
~ q result. That which Welles is now
fighting in is no worse than a dozen others
that have preceded it.
Welles and his associates will give the
country frequent reminders OF the wretched
work which they did as long as they live.
It is the nature of such beasts to fight and
to befoul each other. Decent men can have
ono satisfaction, however. in the fact that
they no longer figure GU the national pay
roll"

ufners always come nrst IN the procession,
then the bride muffled up in . veil. riding q
mule led by her lover. Then comes . bevy
Of eorgeously dressed damsels, sparkling
with silver ornaments, after which the
friends of the bride follow. The procession
stops in front of the bridegroom's house, and
tho girls friends line 10th sides Of the path
way. The pipers march of on one side
while thebridegroom lifts the girl from the
mule and holds her in his arms. The girl'a
friends thereupon throw earth at b bride
groom when he hurries forward and carries
her over the threshold of his house. Thoss
about the door beat him with olive branches,
amid much ulaghter.
In the evening on such occasions the pipers
and drummers arecalled in, and the women
dance two at a time, facing each other; nor
does q couple desist until, painting and ex'
hausted, they step aside to make room fo1
another. The dance has great energy OF
movement, though the steps are small and
changes OF position slight, the dancers only
circling round occasionally. But they swing
their bodies about with an astonishing
energy and ~suppleness. As leaves f1utter
before the gale so do they vibrate to the
music; they shake, they shiver, and tremble,
they extend quivering arms, wave walls, and
their minds seem lost in the abandon and
frenzy of the dance, while the other women,
looking on, encourage by their high, pierre
ing. thrilling cries, which add to the noise Of
the pipes and drums.-Brooklyn Magazine.

The weekly trade review of the leading

the location Of the railroad bridge
across the Missoula river, After looking
over the various locations proposed, and
the advantages of each, he ex-
pressed himself as in favor of the site Just
below town. Should his recommendation
be carried out, and there is every reason to |
believe it will, the crossing will be near the
east line of Judge Stephens ranch. By
building here the Bitter Root roa d would
take the shortest cut for the valley. and
also pass by the Fort and obtain

A Generous Collector.

Thomas Collier, the New London poet, has
. passion for collecting. His book of auto
graphs of poets and literary people from all
parts of the world is very complete and he
takes much pride in exhibiting it to callers.
At one time he was interested in collecting
coins. He had a valuable series near COM
pletion when he learned that a friend had q
similar series even nearer the full number
than his own, and, further, that the coins
missing from his friends collection were all
in his own. Without hesitation he despoiled
his series of tho coins required to complete his
friends, and sent them to him. It was act of
generosity that only those can fully appreci.
ate who have been possessed of the collecting
mania. Said Collier, making light OF it:
~What a mean man I would have been to
play the dog in the Manager just for u few
coins. It was better that one collection
should be complete than that both should ever
remain imperfect New York Sun.
